Serpae Hi-Fin Tetra Pack of 6
The Serpae Hi-Fin Tetra is a variety of the Serpae Tetra (Hyphessobrycon eques), distinguished by its elongated dorsal and anal fins. These tetras are known for their bright orange-red body with black markings, including a comma-shaped spot behind the gills and black on the dorsal and anal fins.
They are generally peaceful but can be fin nippers, so they should be kept with similar-sized, active fish and not with slower-moving or long-finned species.

Received the pack of six Serpae Hi-Fin Tetras in good condition. The fish are vibrant with clear orange-red coloring and distinct black markings. They are active and swim together in groups. I’ve kept them with small danios and barbs, and they haven’t shown aggressive behavior yet. Just make sure to avoid long-finned fish.

The fish arrived quickly and look healthy. The coloration is bright and the fins are well-developed. I noticed they are more active than other tetras I’ve had. They do seem to nip at the fins of slower fish, so I’ve adjusted my tank setup to avoid long-finned species.

Great addition to my community tank. The Hi-Fin variety is visually striking with the elongated fins. They are peaceful overall and enjoy swimming in groups. I’ve paired them with active tetras and they coexist well.
